The Poké Republic

This is by far my favorite Poké spot! We love Kashin, and the Poké is an amazing compliment! So fresh, so tasty. We order this every Friday night. We first experienced this during the Covid pandemic, and the owners are taking huge precautions with food prep and pick up procedures. I would honestly eat this every day if I could.

Finally, a great poke place in Cary! Great job!

If you're a fan of Kashin, you'll love their poke. For now, the Poke Republic resides within its sister restaurant, and you can order through DoorDash delivery/pickup or through Toast on their website for pickup. It's only offered as a to-go option for now, so it's great to grab after work or the gym to take home.
My boyfriend and I are huge fans of the dynamite and #9 rolls at Kashin - now we can get those flavors in a bowl. There are several "pre-made" bowl types which all sound amazing, but we love being able to make our own bowls, and they certainly don't hold back on the fillings.
Their sushi rice is amazing as always - not too sweet and the perfect consistency - and my boyfriend tried the "matcha edamame rice" which we both agreed was subtle and added well to the other ingredients but wasn't the star of the show. Definitely something worth trying once.
Their protein options are fairly standard when it comes to poke around here - tuna, salmon, scallops, shrimp, tofu, chicken....but where they really shine is the sauce. You can get dynamite style (spicy mayo, chili oil, masago), #9 style (sriracha and chili oil - if you love heat this is for you), and more. Definitely not your typical poke offerings - others include wasabi yuzu, Hawaiian, ginger miso, mango mango, and even tamari shoyu for those who need gluten-free offerings.
Toppings are like most poke places - seaweed salad, edamame, cucumbers - but also include "takuan" - Japanese pickled radish - and tobiko - flying fish roe which really go "pop" in your mouth. Add some toppings like furikake and tempura crunchy bits and you've got quite a meal.

They also have catering options available, which will be great once I get back to work at the office.

All in all a great addition to the Kashin family and great quality poke for the price. I usually have been going to Hi-Poke for my fix and might switch over despite paying a few more $$ - I feel like the quality and quantity go a long way in a bowl of poke, and you can taste it in every bite.
